Refining the easily perfected stuff will take at most three days, including today.

The troll, Trovich I think his name was, that was experimenting with the Solar Energy I provided came to talk to me today. They wanted to thank me for basically giving them a way to use magic, something they never would have been able to do otherwise. The got to the point where their pool of Solar Energy was large enough to produce more Solar Energy, so as long as they never use too much of it they will never run out. It seems that trolls are also naturally talented at using Solar Energy too, as this guy is much better at it than I am, despite me having significantly more access to the stuff. Of course, he has also put a lot more effort into it, but without natural talent, he wouldn’t have gotten that far that fast. When I told him as much he agreed with me, and considering the fact that his chosen field of study, evolution, has a lot to do with natural talent that means something.

Trovich is also getting close to evolving. One big show of power or me triggering it will set it off. and I absolutely have to watch it happen, or, ideally, shape it. So naturally, I tried to steer the conversation in that direction. He was very impressed with my knowledge of the actual mechanics of evolution. That is no surprise, he might know evolution on an academic level, but I know and understand how it works on a level he couldn’t possibly understand. Manipulating your own evolution grants you several insights into how the whole thing works.

Eventually, I managed to convince Trovich to let me manipulate his evolution, but not without a couple conditions. For one I have to keep him awake during the process, which is easy enough for me. Plus he wants some level of control over the results. He won’t try to directly manipulate it, I made it clear to him that he could easily kill himself if he tried, I don’t think the world can handle more than one person influencing an evolution at a time, but he does want to be better at a couple things. There is the obvious like Solar Energy manipulation, but also a couple things I wouldn’t have expected, like improved bladder capacity. You would think that a water troll wouldn’t have any issue there, but I guess not.

I will take a bit of time out of tomorrow for him to evolve, that got a laugh out of him. Scheduling an evolution is apparently a rather absurd notion.

Other than that Azrezel and I have made no progress towards figuring out what was going on with the undead dying so quickly, though we have managed to improve their lifespan by a couple seconds.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
